They say "children live what they learn" well I am one who live what I see.
When I was five i watched my parents get murdered in cold blood.
They were murdered by the bounty hunters in the south and I am going to avenge my family's death, but right now I'm trying to focus on how to survive in this cold war.
In my realm you need to earn your own respect by completing a quest given by the master. Each executioner
Is given a particular quest to complete. But first I need to complete my tests of: strength,agility,speed, accuracy etc.  "the master has sent for you sir" said the messenger of our realm. "Thank you great messenger please tell the master that I will be with him soon." Once I had met up with the master we went to the arena where all the  executioners fight to the death. I knew I had to avenge my family so I never gave up a fight. I trained,trained,trained and trained for the day I finally get to avenge my families death, so this fight in the arena was just a little tap on my shoulders. I had to fight a well known fighter his name was Kratos (Not the actual kratos god of war). He had a lot of respect and rank in our realm so most bets were put on him. As the trumpet sounded for us to start the fight I walked over to the weapons Boothe I grabbed  the broad sword of glory with glowing outlines whilst kratos grabbed a transformable staff of vengeance. I ran over to where he was and charged with a chop towards his head which was blocked by his staff. He then tried to hit me in the face with the staff, I blocked his attack with the sword and sliced his hand. He screamed in pain then attacked with full power. I doged his attack, he twisted his staff transforming it into a pair of  nun chucks. I attacked with a deadly chop to the head. He was now stunned. I finished him off with a air kick to the chest and a thrust to the chest. The people who had placed bets on kratos had  lost. I walked over to the exit of the arena, running into my master "well done son" said my master. I was now ready to start my quest. I went to the building where all the executioners have there meetings, master had called a meeting for all the executioners. Everyone had taken their seats by the time the master had arrived. Everybody stood up as the master entered the room. I was then called up to the podium as everyone else sat back down. The master then invited me to stand with him. I stood beside him as he made his speech, he said " We are gathered here to honor Cody a new representative of out realm our new Executioner he is now a bout to embark upon his quest and we send our  blessings with him" as my master said this the other executioners in the hall were now cheering.  I went back to my house where I got all my things together for the quest. I heard footsteps in my hall coming closer to my hall coming closer to my room, my door opened I turned and swung my sword around placing it on the next of the person stood behind me.
